First artist to record the 'Burt Bacharach' (qv)/'Carole Bayer Sager' (qv) song "That's What Friends Are For" (for the movie _Night Shift (1982)_ (qv)), four years before it became a number one hit for 'Dionne Warwick' (qv), 'Elton John' (qv), 'Gladys Knight' (qv) and 'Stevie Wonder' (qv).

After a couple weeks of trying to be a band, Stewart and the future 'The Kinks' (qv) found that they didn't get along that well, with their musical tastes being too different, and parted ways.
Lead singer for 70s rock group The Faces.
Was the original lead singer of the Jeff Beck Group. However, when the band was scheduled to appear at Woodstock he quit on the eve of the show due to the fact that his best friend 'Ron Wood (I)' (qv), who was playing bass at the time, was kicked out.
